"Ten Republican Senators have signed on to a letter asking FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski to conduct a cost-benefit analysis of the FCC's network neutrality rules.

The 10, which includes Kay Bailey Hutchison (Tex.), the ranking member on the Senate Commerce Committee that oversees the FCC, were putting their collective muscle behind a second request by Sen. Dean Heller, who says the FCC did not respond to a July 12 letter following President Barack Obama's executive order asking independent agencies to 'join executive agencies in reducing regulations that place unnecessary burdens on American businesses and the American people,' as the senators put it in their follow-up letter Wednesday (July 27).

President Obama Socialist Communist Marxist Fascist Nazi

President Obama Socialist Communist Marxist Fascist NaziDeflation Economy ^ | 7/31/11 | Delwyn Lounsbury Posted on Monday, August 01, 2011 7:11:27 PM by OneVikeThe alarming thing is Obama’s socialist, communist, Marxist, fascist and Nazi policies and rhetoric are intended to incite class warfare and plunge our nation into a severe economic decline of deflation and the Greater Depression. Tax the rich wealth redistribution is pure class warfare from Communism 101. Obama wants the U.S. to get wrapped up around the axle. His use of the word invests and investments (12 times in a recent speech) are covert communist code comrade for government spending on pet pork projects – pure propaganda. Other Obama fascism examples are the new financial regulations, the take over of GM, Fannie Mae and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the great increase in environmental regulations and power of the EPA plus ObamaCare.
President Obama Communist connections go back through his whole life. Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham (born 12/29/1949 died 11/7/1995) was a communist sympathizer and his father, Barack Hussein Obama, Senior (born 1936 died 11/24/1982), (who he only met twice) was an anticolonialist Marxist. By the way, only male Muslim children are named Hussein.
Black communist poet Frank Marshal Davis (born 1905) met Barack Husein Obama in 1970. Barack Junior (then known as Barry Soetoro) was about 10 years old at that time. The relationship lasted until 1978 when Obama left Hawaii for Occidental College in Los Angeles. In his memoir “Dreams From My Father” Obama talks warmly about an older black poet he only identifies as “Frank.”
In 1944 the FBI had identified Davis as a member of the communist Party’s........................

"One of the worst aspects (and there are many) of “law enforcement” in Late-Empire America is the unwarranted – rapid and violent – escalation of response by police, often out of all proportion to the original “offense” and when the “offender” is clearly no physical threat to the cop or anyone else.

For example, there’s the infamous case of Audra Harmon, who was pulled over for a minor traffic violation; ordinary speeding. The woman – a mom with her kids in the car – argues with the cop, asking that he show her the radar readout, rather than being immediately servile and submissive. The cop – a large man – begins to scream at her, then physically assaults her for “resisting,” ultimately Tazering her, forcing her to the ground and handcuffing her in front of her kids. Here is the video of that incident:

Now, granted, it may not be smart to mouth off to a cop – even when you’re being waylaid for no good reason (or for a trumped-up reason).

But this was blown out of all proportion, given the minor nature of the “offense.” And of course, the woman was in no conceivable way any threat to the cop."...................................................

"Anarchy in its purest form is based on peaceful behavior and voluntaryism in a stateless society, while government is based on aggression, theft, force, and deceit. These two systems are completely opposite.

The only moral social system worth having has to adhere to the ideas of non-aggression, private property, free and voluntary exchange, and self-responsibility. This ideology is based entirely on the individual as sovereign. A political order where the individual is not sovereign, such as what we have now in this country, is the type of system that eventually leads to tyranny and serfdom. We are already far along in that process.

In my opinion, peaceful anarchy as a near perfect social system must go unchallenged, because anarchy is based on the truism that the individual is sovereign. Philosophically, anarchy is the only workable system if freedom is the desired goal. All other political systems are based on a top-down structure, with those in charge holding power over all others.

This type of structure, which is our current political system, is simply one of force, and force is the antithesis of liberty."........................

"Orange Circuit Judge Stan Strickland signed amended court documents this morning that he says will have the effect of requiring Casey Anthony to serve one year of supervised probation as he originally intended back when he sentenced her in her check fraud case.

'From my reading of this, she should be reporting to probation in Orlando probably within 72 hours,' Strickland said this morning. 'I suspect she's going to be required to report to probation.'

The United States Congress will not pass a balanced budget amendment unless they have a gun to their head — and I think the debt ceiling negotiations has been rare opportunity to get all balanced budget on them.

There are two things wrong with the likely outcome of the debt ceiling agreement; 1. Any agreement that Harry Reid and Barack Obama are willing to sign will create election year discord among Republicans and 2. No matter how high they set the ceiling, Congress is sure to hit it by 2013.

I believe it was that great Democratic philosopher Rahm Emanuel who advised mankind that “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” And what could be a greater crisis for Washington than running out of spending cash?"...............

"On July 29, the constituent told The Post & Email that “I spoke to reps for him in upstate New York who passed the call directly to the DC office.

Stockholm Syndrome?
Relative to the goings on involving the government of this country and related issues, hell yes, Americans are in denial both generally and specifically, in my opinion, and many others.

I don't care if you call it ... don't care, no guts, no brains, evil, ignorance, innocence, whatever...
It (denial) is the simplest, most direct means of a good explanation as to the prevailing mood of the country.

Enough said.

I have seen this topic alluded to and bandied about many times by many (online) in the last few years; but, again, in my own opinion, it is not discussed enough, nor has a decent solution to the problem been seriously considered.

Matter of fact, denial may also mean, in this case, "stressed out," but I don't see the shrinks jumping on this bandwagon at all!
Whatsamatter, not PC enough?

I am an information technologist by trade and a Birther evangelist by proclivity. When discussing or debating the Birther issues with a newbie, in addition to a transfer education in law, the Constitution, the jurisprudencial system, and history, I frequently am a witness to the real-time acting out of the Kübler-Ross behavioral model of denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
For the duration of the discussion, the political spectrum orientation of the listener doesn't seem to matter, since the topical reactions and counter-bullet points are always the same. The debates are never linear, but desultory.
...Most people mildly exposed to Birther issues are stuck in the denial stage. However, anger erupts once the message sinks in that Barack Obama's April 27, 2011 LFBC (long-form birth certificate) is forged, that multiple criminal acts have been perpetuated, and that both political parties and all branches of government are culpable.

"President Barack Obama awoke today to furious reaction to his last-minute debt deal, with experts slamming the agreement as a cruel means of hitting middle classes with tax hikes 'through the back door'.

The President and congressional leaders last night finally announced an agreement on emergency legislation to avert the nation's first-ever financial default. But while the dramatic resolution briefly lifted a cloud that had threatened the still-fragile economic recovery, critics said in the long run the middle classes would bear the brunt of the country's massive debt, with increased taxes set to cover for the White House's reluctance to cut public spending.

"Mr. Irey is currently preparing to meet Dr. Orly Taitz and document specialist Doug Vogt in Hawaii in one week on August 8, 2011, at Orly Taitz's request to be part of the team scheduled to examine Obama's long form birth certificate at the Hawaii Department of Health.

Paul Irey is a retired pioneer in professional photo typography with 50 years experience. Mr. Irey’s expertise goes back to 1967 when he started Bergan Graphics in Fort Lee, N.J. At one point Bergan Graphics had 60 employees working ‘round-the-clock, so Mr. Irey is no small player in his business.

Eventually the company even had a satellite office in the pricey real estate of 6th Avenue and 31st street in Manhattan, NYC, handling high-end clients that included Montgomery Ward and Acme Markets. Thank you for agreeing to this interview, Mr. Irey.

"Paul Krugman's latest NYT column, 'The President Surrenders', already has an FR thread, but I want to call attention to the last paragraph:

'What Republicans have just gotten away with calls our whole system of government into question. After all, how can American democracy work if whichever party is most prepared to be ruthless, to threaten the nation’s economic security, gets to dictate policy? And the answer is, maybe it can’t.'

Paul Krugman and the NYT believe our political system, with its checks and balances, should be gutted when it produces results they disfavor. Who are the 'extremists'?"

"At a press conference held by the House 'Out of Poverty Caucus', Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich) lambasted President Obama and called for people to march on the White House.

Conyers says, 'We’ve got to educate the American people at the same time we educate the President of the United States. The Republicans, Speaker Boehner or Majority Leader Cantor did not call for Social Security cuts in the budget deal. The President of the United States called for that. My response to him is to mass thousands of people in front of the White House to protest this.'

"PC World reports that a 'psychometric consulting' firm called AptiQuant gave free online IQ tests to 100,000 people, and then plotted the scores against the browser on which the tests were taken.

It found that Internet Explorer users scored lower than average, while Chrome, Firefox and Safari users were very slightly above average. Camino, Opera and Internet Explorer with Chrome Frame were scored 'exceptionally' high.

'The study showed a substantial relationship between an individual's cognitive ability and their choice of web browser,' AptiQuant concluded. 'From the test results, it is a clear indication that individuals on the lower side of the IQ scale tend to resist a change/upgrade of their browsers.'

Some people have suggested that there may be other factors at work. Business Insider's Matt Rosoff points out that since IE is the default browser for Windows PC users, anyone who doesn't know how to download and install a new browser will be stuck with it - 'which drags down the average'.

And users of other browsers 'include a disproportionate number of computer geeks', which might bring their average up. Or, he admits, it might be that 'IE users really are kind of dumb.'

Within the group of IE users, version 6 users score lowest, while users of version 8 do rather better.

"The cameraman, Phil Datz, was standing on the sidewalk of Sycamore Avenue in Bohemia, video taping the end of a police chase, when a Fifth Precinct police officer told him to “just go away.”

Mr. Datz called Suffolk County Police Public Information Officer to get permission which was granted, Mr Datz was still arrested while filming from one block away on a public street while cars used the same road without restriction.

Suffolk County police confirmed that Datz was arrested and said he was charged with obstruction of governmental administration. He was taken to the Fifth Precinct stationhouse in Patchogue where he was fingerprinted and had a mugshot taken. He was later released.

“We are reviewing the circumstances surrounding the arrest” of Datz, a police spokesman said.

"The apparent deal to extend the debt ceiling is 'fantastic' for President Barack Obama but a 'joke' for the rest of the country, real estate magnate Donald Trump said...the nation is tinkering while losing even more ground to China.

...

'Eventually you have to balance the budget. This is a long way from balancing the budget,' he said. 'This is just a joke.

...

Obama...did manage to score a political victory during the debt debate, removing an issue that had the potential to derail his run for a second term next year.

Beyond that, he said, Obama is incompetent.

'When I say incompetent, he's competent in getting elected and re-elected, but as far as running the country, he's incompetent,' Trump said.

"With today’s declining economy – many of us are on tight budgets. Even so – this does doesn’t change the goal that many of us have – to prepare for troubling times ahead for ourselves and out family.

Visiting some websites and reading certain books – you can get the feeling that you have to have a full years supply of freeze dried food, a full military arsenal, and a mountain retreat with a full solar energy system just to be considered somewhat prepared.

Opinions vary.

There are a lot of inexpensive things that can be done to improve your preparedness level. Many of these are very basic and common sense – some not so much.

ByLawrence SellinMonday, August 1, 2011 Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist No. 16, that the American people are “the natural guardians of the Constitution” and should take whatever action is necessary when their representatives in the federal government concur with the usurpations of another Branch – and thereby violate their oaths to defend the Constitution.
In Federalist No. 33, Hamilton
says:

“If the federal government should overpass the just bounds of its authority and make a tyrannical use of its powers, the people, whose creature it is, must appeal to the standard they have formed [the Constitution], and take such measures to redress the injury done to the Constitution as the exigency may suggest and prudence justify.”

Every American, who is not still in denial, knows that Barack Hussein Obama is Constitutionally ineligible to be President

Every American, who is not still in denial, knows that Barack Hussein Obama is Constitutionally ineligible to be President, has officially proffered a forged Certificate of Live Birth, illegally uses a Social Security Number and has a forged Selective Service registration.

Obama threw a major [bleep]-fit late this afternoon: "Have it on solid authority that Obama threw a major [bleep]-fit late this afternoon, eastern time, on whatever this is he agreed to as his back was against the wall because the speaker would not back down and apparently Reid and the Veep told the Prez it was over and to get over it. Developing. I should be able to confirm with sources in a few hours or by tomorrow's show."

"'As soon as I opened the door, somebody grabbed me and took me outside and put me on the grass,' Tossa said. 'The first thing I thought was they were terrorists who want to kill me because I served in Iraq.'

The DEA agents were executing a search warrant.

“I kept asking, what’s going on?” he said. “And they held my neck to the ground so I can’t talk.”

According to the report, the DEA was executing a search warrant for Tossa’s landlord’s son, who apparently uses Tossa’s one-story house’s address for mailing.

“Before they raid any house, they should have more information,” Tossa said. “Not rumors.”
